Airgram is an all-in-one AI meeting assistant that manages every stage of your meeting to boost efficiency, from meeting scheduling to follow-up. In contrast, Otter is a transcription tool that converts speech to text using artificial intelligence.
In the below section, we’ll see how Airgram and Otter compare across some of the most critical capabilities and make an informed decision. We respect Otter, so all information is fair and transparent and there is no putting them down.
Both Otter and Airgram have a clean interface and are simple to navigate, but Airgram has a higher user rating regarding ease of use, setup, and admin (Source).
As for customer support, Airgram is invested in your success from the very beginning of an interaction. You may check the help docs, send an email, or initiate a live chat. In contrast, currently, Otter.ai only provides email support.
Airgram and Otter.ai share many similarities regarding the recording and transcription features, such as real-time transcript, HD recording, instant access, and easy sharing. However, there are differences:
Otter records meeting audio while Arigram records both audio and video, allowing you to see the facial expressions and gain insights.
Otter supports English transcription only but Airgram supports 8 languages, including English, Spanish, and French.
Airgram offers an additional but useful feature ‘video snippet’. The meeting notes owner can share meeting highlights with a simple link or embed code.
Besides, one customer who switched from Otter to Airgram thought Airgram’s transcription is better, saying “I'm currently using Otter for the transcription. So far is not that good compared with Airgram's”.
Given our daily reliance on tools, why not simplify our work with an all-in-one solution?
Otter.ai focuses more on the in-meeting tasks, but that’s just the beginning for Airgram. It extends its features to the whole meeting lifecycle.
Meeting schedule: Sync your calendar and send the guest your availability to schedule a meeting quickly; no more lengthy email changes.
Agenda creation & share: Create and share your meeting agenda with internal and external collaborators who can view, edit, and leave comments, so everyone is aware of what the meeting is about and can prepare accordingly.
Action item tracking: Airgram puts action items across your meetings in one centralized place and neatly organizes them by status.
Meeting summary: With a single click, Airgram generates automatic meeting summaries that include a list of action items, saving you valuable time in follow-up.
Integrations enable the smooth flow of data between different software systems and therefore streamline workflows and enhance productivity.
Currently, Otter.ai only integrates with two calendar tools plus Dropbox.
By contrast, Airgram seamlessly integrates with various types of tools, including calendars, CRM software, and documentation apps, to make your work easier.
Both Airgram and Otter adopt a seat-based billing system.
Airgram has only one paid plan that offers unlimited transcriptions and up to 5 hours per meeting, with an affordable price of $18/user per month.
While Otter’s pricing varies depending on the transcription minutes:
The Pro plan costs $8.33/user per month (billed yearly), offering 1200 monthly transcription minutes and 90 minutes per meeting
The Business plan costs $20/user per month (billed yearly), offering 6000 monthly transcription minutes and up to 4 hours per conversation.
To conclude, Otter AI has a lower starting price and the Pro plan might be suitable for individuals and small teams who have meetings occasionally. However, if you have a large volume of meetings or file transcriptions, Airgram is no doubt a more cost-effective solution.
